Death Note: Life Note

RW Chapter Five

Chapter Five

Benihime's POV

I turn to leave but a hand grabs my arm tightly, preventing me from taking another step.

"You're a terrible liar." Light accuses harshly. His voice is full of venom. I turn slowly to see him glaring at me, his gaze full of murderous intent. I shudder involuntarily.

"I really do have somewhere to be-" I begin to say, but stop when his grip on my arm gets tighter. I wince in pain and try to struggle free with no success.

"We're making a scene. I'd rather not have my perfect reputation tarnished by a liar." His gaze doesn't leave my face. "Tonight, meet me outside the train station. Don't think about running either, I'll just go to your house and wait for you there. You can't run from me, Benihime. It'd also be very beneficial for you to follow my orders, and maybe you can tell me your real name and what you're really up to." He doesn't say anymore and drops my arm. I rub it in an attempt to soothe the pain as I watch him storm off.

Shit.

What do I do?

I could run to the police and report him, but I don't have any sufficient evidence against him. I only have my word. Plus, he's a genius and his dad works for the police. He'll only wiggle his way out of any accusation I say.

I'm screwed. I've lost.

I can run. I can tell my parents I messed up and have them move us far away. I'll change my name and hide.

If Light finds the Second Kira then I'm dead.

Why did I try to meddle with all this? Why couldn't I have just left catching Kira to L. Yes, I do have the Life Note but that doesn't protect me from the Death Note's powers. I can still die if my real name is found out or the Second Kira sees me.

I should've just stuck to using the Life Note's powers to bring back the criminals until Kira either gave up trying to kill them all or until he was caught by L.

I'm so stupid!

... Wait a second.

"And maybe you can tell me your real name."

How does he know Benihime isn't my real name? The only answer is that he tried to kill me with the Death Note, and of course it didn't work!

So Light is trying to kill me. Which only means, if the weird Ryuuga kid is the Second Kira then I'd be dead now. So he's not it... meaning Light still hasn't found the Second Kira. I may still be safe, for now.

Just what is the Ryuuga kid up to?

He tails Light around... does he suspect Light too?

Or is he helping Light?

Doesn't seem like it, the two don't seem to get along at all. Light looks at him with the same murderous glare he gave me a few minutes ago.

I tap my chin in thought.

Could the Ryuuga kid be L? Or another detective? It would explain his weird name, he must be undercover.

Bingo!

***

"Ryuuga-san?" I say when I find him trailing behind Light, as usual. Light is a few metres away, and hopefully can't hear us.

The weird Ryuuga-kid looks at me with a semi-annoyed expression. I must be interrupting something.

"It's important, but I need you to promise to not repeat what I'm about to say to anyone."

A/N: Sorry for the short chapter! I needed to leave it on a cliffhanger. Shit's going to be going down in the next few chapters and I'm so excited! 

So what do you think is going to happen? 

I may not be updating tomorrow, if not then I'll definitely update on Sunday. I should have time to write a chapter and upload it tomorrow though. The chapter should definitely be a lot longer too! 

Feel free to comment and vote, both are greatly appreciated and I love receiving comments from you guys! It makes my day to see that people enjoy my writing :D
